How I used ZOOMWORDS
A friend of mine, Geórgia, this week showed me a tool I had forgotten about, ZOOMWORDS. She had made a list of words for our students to revise and used the ZOOMWORDS application from BLIXY.COM.
Create your word widget and more at Blixy.com!
This is how I used it:
Create your word widget and more at Blixy.com!
This is how I used it:
- I told my students I would show them a list words they would have to copy for 2 minutes.
- I used the clock counter in our IWB to set the time limit and showed the ZOOMWORD above which I had embedded in a blog.
- Students had 2 minutes to write down in their notebooks as many words as they could.
- When time was over, we checked how many words they had been able to copy and then asked them to check if they knew all the words in their list. Students asked me to explain the words they didn't remember but I always repeated the questions for the other students to try to explain.
- IN PAIRS, students gave definitions of words from their list for the other student to guess what word it was.

Dress up your Avatar - Clothes / Appearance
Yesterday, a colleague of mine, Geórgia, showed me a site she´s been following "Think in English" . It´s written by Aurora Jove, a teacher in Spain, and brings really interesting sites we can explore and use with our students.
The first site I´m going to talk about is STYLETOOL.COM
The site allows you to dress up an avatar you create with various options of t-shirts, dresses, shoes, bags, and sunglasses. It´s an interesting way of teaching CLOTHES VOCABULARY as each item of clothing is identified with a word and image. After dressing up your avatar you can post it in facebook, grab the embed code for publishing,
- Use the site to build an avatar in class with students and exploit the images of clothes to teach / revise the vocabulary.
- Ask students to create an avatar, dress it up , write a description for it and then share the avatar + description in a class blog.
- The teacher can create several avatar dressed differently, take screenshots and then use the images to present CLOTHES VOCABULARY.
- Write descriptions of the way avatars are dressed and ask students to build the avatar according to the description.
- Have students create their avatars and present them to the whole class by describing both appearance (dark/ fair skin , hair, eyes) and clothes.

Students from 3 countries get together in Skype
June 01, is PENPAL DAY. It's a great opportunity to get our students to communicate with other teenagers from around the world.
Thanks to Alex Francisco and Eva, Guido (Spain), Arjana (Croatia) and I (Brazil) got in contact and arranged to have a skype conference call.
Before June 1st, each group prepared a list of 15 simple questions in English about their own countries. On the day of the skype session we would have to try to answer each other questions, therefore, our students had to study about the other 2 countries beforehand.
Well, we prepared our questions and I asked my students to look up information about Croatia and Spain in the internet for homework. To my surprise, most of them not only read about the 2 countries in English but also printed a sheet so that they could keep it.
I took my laptop to school (I have skype and a webcam)and attached it to our e-board , projector and loudspeakers so that my sts could see / hear the other groups.
This is a part of our skype session
We started off having some students introduce themselves and then we moved on to the question challenge. I must admit the sound wasn't very good, nevertheless the experience was fun, motivating and really worthwhile.
What a crazy bunch of people we were! :)

PROJECT: Describing pictures / Making deductions
Last week, the focus of the lesson was MODALS TO MAKE DEDUCTIONS: must, may, might and can't. Students, listened to dialogues and did exercises.
Today, I had planned something different for them:
Today, I had planned something different for them:
- I gave each student a different picture and asked then to write a written description where they would also use modals for makind deductions.
- While students wrote the descriptions I helped with vocabulary and had a look at some mistakes.
- I asked students to practise reading their texts in pairs so that they would pay attention to words they could not pronounce and pauses.
- I used a voicethread presentation I had prepared beforehand to record sts reading their descriptions.
- After doing all the recordings, I showed them the full voicethread presentation so that they could listen to different descriptions. (They really paid attention!)

The Army spent billions developing a secret code.
When I was in the army they were working on a secret code: "One" meant "I don't know."
I didn't listen to the rest of it. I just walked around in the army saying "one" to everybody.
Bombs were blasting. People were dying all around me. "One! One!" I kept shouting. "Don't you die on me, you motherfucker!"

I posted a reply and it might get a +5 informative. Slashdot has a large amount of views so if anyone is so inclined make a reply to that thread (sobolwolf) I put up!
The Overlord wrote:I lied, there is one: https://www.reddit.com/r/warzone2100
While I highly doubt that any of the small number of currently active WZ2100 multiplayer players are also aware of this subreddit, and thus probably will never see this, I feel it necessary to get this message out regardless.
There is a problem with the mentality of the multiplayer players of this game. It was somewhat of a problem 10 years ago, it was an even worse problem 2 years ago, and it is still a problem today. There is a hivemind absolute lack of tolerance for new WZ2100 players in the multiplayer scene. It needs to stop.
WZ2100 is game unlike any other which keeps it fun and interesting and it's why I still play it over a decade after its original release. The campaign is great, but really I primarily enjoy playing online against other players. But the joy of playing online is quickly soured when other players are unwelcoming of any player who they perceive to be a newb.
It's sad because the kick system was supposed to be an anti-grief tool available to game lobby hosts, but it itself has become a grief system. The player rank system is at fault here too.
The... "seasoned" players (pro players), that's what I'll call them, they're the ones with 3 gold stars and a medal next to their names in the lobby. And because of how old this game is and how few the number of people is that regularly play this game, the multiplayer community is mostly comprised of these seasoned players who have all already played and won enough matches to hold supreme rank.
If you're a "newb" you show up with a red pin next to your name in the game lobby. To the seasoned players, red pin = "I'm a total newb who is going to cost you the match". Most hosts will kick anyone with the newb icon immediately after they join a game. Some might ask you if you're a "good player" or they'll ask you to "show rank pls" indicating that they assume you are a pro who is pretending to be a newb, and they want to see your "real name" so they can see proof that you are actually a seasoned player like them and won't suck total ***. If you don't have any proof that you are a seasoned player, you're likely to be kicked.
I don`t know, how the system looks like, because i don`t play online (long time ago, i did). But i wonder why the ELO-system isn`t in use. Like in Chess. For example Rank=title in chess. And as added information the ELO-number. It is so easy. Every newb starts with ELO 1600. If the newb plays against a player with ELO 2000 for example and wins, then his new ELO is ((3x his old ELO + (ELO of opponent +400)) divided by 4 = 1800. The player with 2000 has a new ELO of (3x2000 + 1600-400)/4 = 1800. The system with stars and medals is total nonsense and is no information about the real play strength. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_systemvexed wrote:
That was part of the reason of redoing the ranking system, but, until that is done, it would help the community out if people stop kicking people just because they are new.
Hopefully, we will get more players active, and this becomes less of a problem.

State Land Judging Contest
Approximately 1,000 teenagers and adults — members of FFA and 4-H Chapters from throughout the United States and their parents, coaches and teachers — will come to Oklahoma City next week, as they have the first week of May for more than six decades, to compete in a national educational competition. The National Land and Range Judging Contest, a three-day event that stresses soil and plant science, land management and conservation, marks its 62nd anniversary beginning on Tuesday, April 30.After two days of opportunity to visit practice sites, the event will culminate on Thursday, May 2, with the contest at a site whose location is kept secret until that morning, followed in the evening by an awards banquet at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum.The Land Judging contestants qualify for the national event by placing among the top five teams at contests in their home states, according to contest cochairman Kim Farber. Farber is president of the Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts, one of the contest's principal sponsors. She says the teens match their skills in judging the adaptability of the land for various purposes including farming, range management and home development. She notes the skills the teens apply at the contest involve principles they can apply in career fields like environmental and agricultural management, natural resource conservation, homebuilding and construction.Farber notes the idea of a land judging contest was invented by three Oklahoma conservationists in 1942. They decided which soil qualities could be judged and developed score cards to test skills. The idea caught on and Oklahoma City has been hosting the national contest since 1951.As soon as the contestants arrive they will go to a practice site near Oklahoma City where numerous pits have been dug to give them a chance to analyze and learn more about Oklahoma soil conditions. Contestants also have the opportunity to examine Oklahoma range conditions for livestock grazing and wildlife management purposes.The actual contest sites will remain secret until just before each contest, so no one has an unfair advantage. Farber says contestants will gather at the Biltmore Hotel to register, receive procedural instructions and await disclosure of the official contest sites. Coaches and contestants will then travel in a caravan to the site that is a tract of land in or near the greater metro area. The Land Judging Contest and the Homesite Evaluation Contest will begin at 9:15 a.m. on Thursday, followed by the start of the Range Judging contest at 9:30 a.m.The event will end with an awards ceremony Thursday night in the Great Hall of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. National championship trophies will be awarded to team and individual winners in each category of competition including land judging, range judging, and homesite evaluation.

The aim of our study was to explore whether community-based mental health care centres (MHCs) are able to implement and sustain cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) with the help of an implementation manual.
We monitored the implementation process and treatment outcome data of three Dutch MHCs that implemented or sustained CBT for CFS, one in the context of a stepped care program.
We compared these data with findings of other treatment studies conducted in the context of CBT for CFS. All three MHCs included at least 40 patients with dropout rates between 15% and 35% from intention-to-treat to second assessment.
Effect sizes ranged between 0.88 and 1.76 for changes in fatigue severity and 0.43 and 1.23 for changes in physical functioning. With one exception, these outcomes were within the range of our benchmark.
Contrary to original expectations, we provided additional implementation support to the two MHCs new with CBT for CFS. We concluded that our implementation manual does not seem to substitute external support for team leaders and associated professions during initial implementation of CBT for CFS but may have the potential to make this assistance more efficient.
Particular attention should be paid to challenges of implementing stepped care for CFS.

Tottenham Hotspur star Gareth Bale is widely regarded as one of the hottest properties in world football at the moment.
His deft touch, mazy dribbles and silky skills at White Hart Lane has earned the Welsh winger plenty of praise, and even drawn comparisons to the likes of the game's leading stars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
And, judging by the 23-year-old's latest video his trickery doesn't end when he comes off the football pitch, with his ball juggling on the golf course not too shabby either!
Bale is a regular on the greens, and can be often seen playing golf with Spurs team-mates Michael Dawson, Carlo Cudicini and Gylfi Sigurdsson, reports the Daily Mail.
The Tottenham midfielder - who shares his number 11 squad number with his golfing handicap - is filmed mimicking Tiger Woods's famous Nike advert by juggling the ball on an iron before smashing it on the half volley straight down the driving range.

Did you know we have a mobile site?
Dr. Joe Domecq, Michigan State University (MSU) youth dairy specialist, coordinator of the MSU Institute of Agricultural Technology dairy management program and animal science academic specialist, has been awarded the Hoard's Dairyman Youth Development Award, the dairy industry's highest award recognizing a dairy youth educator.
Source: Michigan State University College of Agriculture and Natural Resources
The award was presented to Domecq on July 17 during an awards ceremony at the 2012 joint annual meeting of the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) and the American Society of Animal Science (ASAS) in Phoenix.
Domecq is widely recognized by his peers as a leader in dairy youth development and exemplifies the characteristics of a valuable dairy mentor.
"His leadership, guidance, and support of the Michigan 4-H Dairy Youth Program are unparalleled. He volunteers numerous hours and timeless energy to the dairy judging program and to youth activities and educational sessions throughout the state," says Sheila Burkhardt, director of member relations and public affairs for the Michigan Milk Producers Association (MMPA). . "Whether in the role of teacher, advisor, student mentor, dairy youth specialist, or dairy judging coach, Domecq is passionate about guiding students on their individual paths to reaching short- and long-term career and life goals."
Domecq has personally affected the lives and career paths of hundreds of young people. He became the coordinator of the MSU Institute of Agricultural Technology dairy management program in 1992, while still a graduate student. He joined the MSU Department of Animal Science faculty in 1994.
More than 350 students have graduated from the dairy management program under Domecq's leadership. Of this group, more than two-thirds are employed in the dairy industry or another agriculture field. Domecq estimates that among this group, at least 25 percent of the dairy cow population in Michigan, or 100,000 cows, are managed by one of the graduates of the dairy management program, including some of the largest and highest producing herds in the state.
Other former graduates are employed as sales people in the artificial insemination and dairy feed industries and as animal nutritionists. Two MMPA Outstanding Young Cooperator Award winners were dairy management program graduates, as was a former Dairy Herd Improvement Association Progressive Dairy Award winner. Another former student was honored as one of three National Dairy Shrine Progressive Producer award winners and named an MMPA outstanding young cooperator.
"Joe is a tireless crusader for youth development whether connected to his assignments in youth dairy programming, the Institute of Agricultural Technology dairy management program or our undergraduates in the Department of Animal Science," says Janice Swanson, chairperson of the MSU Department of Animal Science.
"When Joe walks into the room, it lights up. He has the unique quality of making connections with young people and providing guidance that keeps him in their sphere of influence for a lifetime," she adds. "And his passion and dedication to the dairy industry has won him immense respect and support from both producers and industry for our youth and student programs."
The Hoard's Dairyman Youth Development Award was created in 2006 to recognize a candidate who has had significant involvement in dairy‐related youth activities either in a professional or volunteer capacity for a minimum of 10 years. The recipient shall be highly regarded in the dairy industry for his or her role in personal development of dairy youth and for enhancing knowledge of and interest in the dairy industry. The winner need not be a member of the ADSA, and may have worked with youth of any age, in many possible capacities such as coach, counselor, teacher, advisor, mentor, chaperone or supervisor.

• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
Turkey closed its border with Syria today to all but refugees as violence gripped the northern commercial city of Aleppo for the fifth day.
Today's closure will seal the only three border gates that remain open along the 566-mile border, closing off important supply routes into Syria, according to local newspaper National Turk. Rebel and regime forces have fought fiercely for control of the border posts; the closure follows the rebels recently wresting control of two border posts from government troops, Agence France-Presse reports.
Zafer Caglayan, the Turkish economy minister, told the Associated Press that "dozens of Turkish trucks were either looted or torched" during a clash last week in which rebels took over border crossing of Bab al-Hawa and, in the last year, Turkish truck drivers have been regularly targeted or caught in the middle of fighting. Rebels frequently smuggle weapons and other materials across the border and they control a substantial amount of territory on the Syrian side.
"We have serious concerns over the safety of Turkish trucks regarding their entry and return from Syria," Mr. Caglayan said. The number of tracks traveling from Turkey to Syria dropped 87 percent this year, he told the Post.
Rebels poured into Aleppo, a former regime stronghold, over the weekend. The city, the wealthiest in Syria and the country's commercial capital, is 40 miles from the Turkish border. Now the government is fighting to regain control. Helicopters fired down into some neighborhoods as Syrian troops fought rebel fighters in the streets throughout the night and into this morning, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told AFP.
Many Syrians had held out hope that the violence, which has entered its 17th month, wouldn't seep into its two major cities, Damascus and Aleppo.
The New York Times reports:
Damascus and Aleppo had been the two significant holdouts in the fighting that has gradually engulfed the rest of Syria since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began in March 2011. But now the whole country is inflamed. Guerrillas from the loosely affiliated Free Syrian Army launched major assaults in both cities via sympathetic, anti-regime neighborhoods in the two cities, which vie for the title of the oldest urban centers on earth.
Much is at stake. Whoever controls the two jewels-in-the-crown controls Syria.
City residents told the Times that today was calm, aside from the helicopters overhead, but rebels say the government sent thousands of troops, as well as tanks, toward Aleppo today. Rebels tried to destroy or contain some of the tanks coming from Idlib Province, but some got through. Rebels have sent reinforcements of their own to Syria's second-largest city.
As is the case in Damascus, where the Assad regime is slowly retaking control of the city from rebel fighters after they took over much of the city last week, rebel gains in Aleppo may begin to fade as well, reports the Times.
But US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton said it's important not to let this happen because rebel gains in Aleppo could "enable them to set up a safe haven inside Syria," according to AFP.
"We have to work closely with the opposition because more and more territory is being taken and it will eventually result in a safe haven inside Syria which will then provide a base for further actions by the opposition," she said.
"We do believe that it is not too late for the Assad regime to commence with planning for a transition to find a way that ends the violence."
Few are voicing such optimistic outlooks. In his New York Times column today, Thomas Friedman compares Syria to Iraq.
"[T]he chances of this best-of-all-possible outcomes is low. That's because Syria is a lot like Iraq. Indeed, Syria is Iraq's twin – a multisectarian, minority-ruled dictatorship that was held together by an iron fist under Baathist ideology."
But unlike Iraq, the US and likely no other third party country will step into the fray to wrangle the Syrian conflict, he says.
"Since it is highly unlikely that an armed, feared and trusted midwife will dare enter the fray in Syria, the rebels on the ground there will have to do it themselves."
An estimated 30 people were reported killed in Syria today, including six in Aleppo, according to opposition activists and the Local Coordination Committees of Syria. As of June 2012, some 78,000 people are estimated to have fled Syria for neighboring Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Close to 25,000 are registered refugees with the Turkish government.
A Turkish official told the AFP that the border closing is an "open-ended measure and the reopening depends on the developments on the ground."

After a frantic weekend by our coding and art teams, Team OGA presents Last Escape, five levels of hardcore action in which you collect energy from bug-infested alien ruins to recharge your space ship.
Warning: This game is oldschool. Don't expect a walk in the park. When you play through it, play slow and kill as many things as you can. The glowing energy clouds you pick up from deceased enemies will give you an extra life if you pick up 10 of them -- and you'll need more than the 3 lives you start with! :) Enjoy!

Northeast Asia economists to meet in Honolulu, Aug. 8-9
20th Northeast Asia Economic Forum is precursor to November's APEC meeting in HonoluluUniversity of Hawaiʻi

Northeast Asia Economic Forum
Posted: Aug 3, 2011
The Northeast Asia Economic Forum (NEAEF) announces its 20th annual conference, which will be held in Honolulu August 8-9 at the Hawaii Prince Hotel Waikiki. This conference will be held as the precursor to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in November 2011. The conference is jointly organized by the Hawaii Asia-Pacific Institute/Northeast Asia Economic Forum and the University of Hawaii at Manoa's College of Social Sciences.
Since 1991, NEAEF has served as a vehicle for exchange of information and ideas through dialogue, education and training among Northeast Asian and North American policymakers, businesspersons, academics, and members of nongovernmental organizations.
The initial idea for the creation of a Pacific economic community came from Northeast Asia. Former Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Okita Saburo, in collaboration with Australia, proposed to establish the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council (PECC), founded in 1980, which served as a step toward the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).
Northeast Asian countries and the United States have accounted for the lion's share of GDP of APEC nations, amounting to about 80 percent. Northeast Asian countries are therefore crucial in the successful continuation of APEC's mission. For these reasons, NEAEF Co-Founder Dr. Okita Saburo advocated for Japan's active participation along with the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Korea.
This year, the 20th NEAEF conference will focus its discussions on trade and economic partnership, energy, cross-border infrastructure and financing, which represent the major substance of the APEC Summit.
NEAEF is the only non-governmental organization in the region in which all of the nations of Northeast Asia and the United States have been consistent and active participants. Dr. Lee-Jay Cho serves as chairman of the NEAEF, whose secretariat is located in Honolulu. Partnership with the NEAEF is extended to interested individuals and institutions both within the region and internationally.
International participants at this year's forum include:
- Dr. Taro Nakayama, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Japan and a founding member of NEAEF;
- Mr. Zhenghua Jiang, Vice-Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Ninth National People's Congress of People's Republic of China;
- Mr. Glyn Ford, Former Member of the EU Parliament and Chair of East Asian Policy Committee;
- Dr. Yamazawa Ippei, Institute of Developing Economies-Japan External Trade Organization, Japan;
- Mr. Wang Shuzu, Former Vice Mayor of Tianjin City, China;
- Dr. Pavel Minakir, Academician and Director, Economic Research Institute, Far East Branch, Russia Academy of Sciences;
- Dr. Maeda Tadashi, Head, Corporate Planning Department, Japan Bank for International Cooperation and Special Advisor to the Cabinet, Japan;
- Mr. Bahk Byongwon, Former Vice Minister of Finance and Planning and Senior Economic Advisor to the President, Republic of Korea.
The forum is scheduled in Honolulu this year in hopes that the discussions and conclusions flowing out of the meeting will contribute to the deliberations of national leaders and officials at the APEC meeting in November.
In conjunction with the conference, the forum's Sixth Young Leaders Program is currently taking place through August 11 at UH Mānoa. Since 2006, NEAEF has awarded fellowships to advanced students and rising professionals from Northeast Asia and the United States to participate in the annual program. This year, the program accepted 30 candidates from the United States, Russia, China, Japan, Mongolia and South Korea.
The rigorous two-week program consists of daily presentations concerning regional issues of energy and environment, transportation and logistics, trade, finance, education, regional history and population studies. An international faculty of leading academics, representatives of international organizations, NGOs, government officials, parliamentarians, and heads of industry will lead seminars and workshops.
The practicum section consists of a series of collaborative group work, problem-solving exercises, individual presentations, as well as cultural and educational activities based on the host country. Other activities include visits to Hawaii's local government, educational, research and policy institutions and NGOs to promote greater understanding of the importance of Hawaii's key position in Northeast Asia.

Here are more puzzles and games from the Sunday Denver Post. This week they're from August 1934, and include a magic trick with psychic tissue paper.
Here are more puzzles and games from the Sunday Denver Post. This week they're from August 1934, and include a magic trick with psychic tissue paper.
Helen Dollaghan, food editor of The Denver Post from 1958-1993, selected recipes she felt were the best and published them in this 1987 special section called "30 Years of Rocky Mountain Cooking." Most are recipes that Helen or her readers developed.
Every Friday we'll share several of the recipes from her collection.
Week 6: Olive Cheese Puffs, Sauerkraut Chocolate Cake and Bourbon Balls
These bites have bite. Gwendolyn Shurm
of Boulder served them as hors d'oeuvres
at dinner parties in the '60s.
Olive Cheese Puffs
24 to 36 stuffed olives
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, lightly packed
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) margarine, softened
1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons flour
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
Thoroughly drain olives. Wipe them dry with paper towel. Combine remaining ingredients, mixing with fingers until pastry holds together in ball. Take about 1 teaspoon of pastry and flatten it in palm of hand. Place an olive in center. Wrap pastry around it, completely covering olive. Pinch off any excess dough. Roll lightly between palms to get uniform shape. Refrigerate in tightly covered container until chilled. (They may be made a day ahead of serving.) Bake on ungreased baking sheet in preheated 450-degree oven 10 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 24 to 36 hors d'oeuvres, depending on size of olives.
The most fun recipe of 30 years
was this gem, tested on a group
of 12-year-old 4-H'ers in autumn '66.
They gobbled up every crum, thinking
they were tasting coconut – certainly
not, ugh, sauerkraut.
Sauerkraut Chocolate Cake
2/3 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups minus 2 tablespoons sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted before measuring
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 4 tablespoons water
2/3 cup sauerkraut
Thoroughly cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients alternately with water to egg mixture. Rinse sauerkraut with water, thoroughly drain and coarsely chop. Stir into batter. Turn into 2 greased and floured 8-inch square or round pans. Bake in preheated 350-degree oven about 30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Frost with your favorite icing. Makes 2 cakes.
From the late '60s come bourbon
balls from Estelle Hart of Brighton.
Bourbon Balls
6 oz. vanilla wafers, crushed into very fine crumbs
1 cup chopped nuts
1 tablespoon cocoa
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 cup bourbon
Additional powdered sugar
Mix together crums, nuts, cocoa and sugar. Add syrup and bourbon. Mix well. Roll into small balls. Roll in additional powdered sugar. Makes 4 dozen.

Trying to decide whether or not I am going to go to the beach this year or not. Can't wait!! I guess it will depend upon if I am able to meet my family down there or not. Either wait, I know we are going have a good time. It has been a few years since we have seen each other. Thinking of moving to Tulsa OK too, was looking for real estate agents in Tulsa this last week.
Sims and Bobbing for Apples
I have not played sims in a loooong time, but this one looks pretty awesome. I guess this is one from the expansion pack. Boy have video games changed in the last few years!
For those who like marvel, I think you may like this. I cannot wait until this comes out!
And something maybe not as quite exciting..
If I Ever Watch TV At Night I Watch
Did you expect this? Love it!
Other channels we found too.
We know that Game of thrones is a pretty popular game and that is one of the reasons why there are so many youtube videos about it.
Something New
This last year when I went to NY, I found a lot of great things to see, for one. I had no idea that I would visit during the coldest part of the year! This was an understatement to say the least! I came from a trip where I was wearing shorts to having to wear about 3 jackets! I thought it was pretty funny actually. Anyway. I plan on visiting there again , and I do hope it will not be as cold as it was this last year for sure! But, I have to make sure that I am not failing anatomy and physiology next year either!
Looking for Birds
I often do not understand bird watching, but I guess if I had to do it, I would eventually learn how to bird watch. Perhaps there is a science to it. Nah, I think it's boring. But….if you like Steve Martin may like this movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1053810/ I won't tell you what it is but it is hilarious. Just think parody. It is a lot more entertaining that what I was reading yesterday for school.lol Here is the trailer
Early in Life We See……
Love this!
This was much more fun than our review for http://weirdScholarships.co . If you anyone have a review they would like posted, just let us know!
We were also looking to review a few business sites as well.
We were looking in Twitter.com for a few sites and here is what we found:
We also found other links that belong to them too.
I really think that a coat liner makes a big difference when you are trying to stay warm. I am going to invest in one soon. I didn't realize that something as simple as a liner can really mean the difference between shivering cold and being comfortable. I was at the park with a friend of mine and I forgot my coat. She was nice enough to let me borrow hers. It had a liner in it, it worked so well in fact that I actually got hot and had to take it off. I couldn't believe it, everything else about our coats are about the same, just the one little difference, the liner.
I cannot believe the technology that's come about just in the last 20 plus years. I remember our first computer, I believe I was in second grade. We had the apple computers in our computer lab at school. There wasn't really a lot of color I don't recall, and everything took soooo long to do. I remember even the graphics back then took like 30 minutes just to create a smiley face. I'm just blown away at how far we've come in just a short amount of time. The things we can do in our easy scholarships to apply for class is just beyond me. Right now we are learning some graphics and coding. It's amazing. Onward and upward we go.
Underwater Photos
I'm really supposed to be doing an assignment for our teds woodworking review - http://Tedswoodworkingreviewx.com but I'm extremely unmotivated today. So, I'm surfing around and finding cool things on you tube. I got entranced at this video below, it's pretty cool what people find under water. I also found an underwater photo contest. I'm not sure I would have the nerve to go to some of the depths that these people do, but I'm glad for them or we wouldn't have these cool pics. See here for yourself, it's pretty neat. Now, back to getting myself motivated.
What do you do with your shoes when you have a small puppy that likes to chew everything? Well, that is exactly what we were asking ourselves last week in our credit card debt consolidation group, see we are allowed once per week to bring our furry friends, just to lighten up the work. Well, we would all keep our shoes in the front hall, and everyone ended up with holes in their shoes. So, we are now all keeping them in the closet by the front door, problem solved, unless the doggies learn how to open the closet door.
We are going to the zoo next week and we are so very excited. It's been about 7 months since we've been to the zoo and we're missing it pretty badly. So, in a few weeks, our son is having a field trip to the zoo and we decided to take off of work to go with him. We are so excited and the best part is, they have a train ride, which funny enough, roller coasters and all, this was our very most favorite ride at the other zoo. It was a good way to relax, enjoy the scenery and take a rest when you've walked all day. This is even better news than getting free money for college. Ok, maybe not.
Working At Home
I'm very grateful that I am able to do my studies and work from home. It gives me a chance to do things around the house that I never used to have time for. Now, I have time during the day to spend more time with my daugter, and my husband and not feel that I'm missing out on anything. It's a big difference being able to wake up, still early but it's on my terms, and without an alarm clock. Now if I can just get up and going to my debt consolidation loans bad credit class, I'd be all set.
Baked Dessert
We tried a new baked dessert this last weekend to bring to our consolidation loans for bad credit meeting. Normally we get the recees peanut butter bars, but this time tried the same brand, but it was smores bars. Although they were pretty good, they certainly didn't compare to the delicious smooth, peanut buttery reeces bars. The smores bars had a graham cracker crust and a brownie like filling. Mixed into the filling were little marshmellows. It was good but honestly didn't taste too much different than eating a brownie with graham cracker crust. We may have it again but will definatley get the reeces peanut butter bars again next time.
I just love trying new coffee creamers, they are so delicious. I like to try new flavored creamers on a weekly basis to see which I would like the best. Of course, I watch my sugar intake so the ones that I get are typically either sugar free or fat free. I have recently discovered a new line that is actually sugar free and fat free, yes, both! I couldn't believe it myself! The taste you ask? Well, the only one i've tried so far is the chocolate amaretto biscotti. It was almost as bad as credit debts, ha, horrible. I'm not too fond of the flavor, my husband says it tastes like a chocolate covered cherry.
I don't know why but I have been craving seafood lately, not just any seafood, I have been craving crablegs. I am not sure why, maybe because it's been a very long time since I've had some but I really really really want to go have some over the weekend. It's hard not to want to stop my studies and go find a place that's open right now. They are just so delicious just thinking about it. The soft crab, the delicious drawn butter that you dip it in. Ooooooh, just sounds so very good right now. I might have to skip my weird scholarships class and go get some. I think I have gotten myself so hungry I could probably eat about 5 pounds right now.
You'd better not wear your glasses in the ocean when you're trying to swim. Just a bit of advise from someone it happened to. Yep, it was me. I can't believe I lost my sunglasses.
What was I thinking? I suppose I was just trying to keep the harmful rays out of my eyes. Now, because of that, I have lost my $300 sunglasses. Well, what does one do, I have found myself shopping online now for new ones. Here are some of the good ones that I like. Now I just need grants for single mothers to go through so I can afford new glasses.
I really enjoyed these recipes, if you are one that like chicken as well, this may be for you. I have bought other meats, and chicken seems to be the most versatile.
Here are some more videos on different things you can do with chicken, you can stuff it, bake it, fry it, and much more. Better information than best term life insurance companies can give, ha.
I never realized how good peaches tasted. I think the last time I had a peach had to be when I was about 8. My family and I went on a trip to go see my sisters father up north and on the way, we passed through Georgia. While passing through, we saw quite a few side of the road food vendors. One in particular advertised Georgia peaches. They were oh so delicious and juicy. The riper ones had a wonderful sweet flavor to them. I'm not sure why I didn't buy them sooner but I just decided the other day when I was grocery shopping to get them again.
I am so glad I did. Now I am eating a lot healthier and it's really tasty. I go home for lunch after my debt consolidation loans bad credit meetings. Every day for lunch, I am making myself a sandwich and a peach with it.
I made a really good dinner last night. I was looking all around for some chicken recipes and came across this little tiny recipe book made by best term life insurance companies when I was at the grocery store the other day. It was focused on summer items. One of the recipes was a cajun chicken salad. It sounded interesting. I made it and to my surprise, It was delicious. I will definitely be making it again. You take a few chicken breasts, cook them thoroughly. Then, you mix in a bowl, oil, cajun seasoning. You cut up green peppers, green onions, and a tomato. You make some rice, mix it all together and refrigerate. It is delicious. You can throw it on top of a bed of lettuce if you'd like also. It was quick, easy, and yummy.
Having a pet is the most incredible experience in the world. I see now why they say people that have animals seem to live happier lives. We have some animals over the years and it is such a pleasant experience. Some pets were weirder than even weird scholarships, but the kids loved them all. They greet you when you come home, if you have a dog, they wag their tales. They are always in a good mood, and even seem to smile at you at times. It gives you a sense of responsibility and a sense of loving something. They keep you company when you are alone and protect you also. They run around and play with you even when you're not in the mood. I'm really glad we have pets. It also keeps us accountable. Especially when you have something that needs exercise like a dog. It helps keep you fit, especially since we live on the 5th floor, going up and down the stairs multiple times throughout the day keeps you in shape.
(no title)
I don't understand what the big push is to get pregnant at such an early age, and whatever happened to being married first. I know this is a touchy subject for some but I think it really should be addressed. We have a daughter who just had a baby and it's a great thing that we are grandparents but let's be honest, this really should have happened differently. This is almost as shocking as bad credit consolidation loans that rip people off with high interest rates at times. We don't say that to her, what's done is done, but we've noticed a lot of her friends or people her age are having children young also, and many of them are not in a relationship or looking to get married any time soon. I wish they would just understand how much of a huge responsibility this is to raise a child especially on their own at such a young age before even graduating high school. Things are a lot different than they used to be that's for sure.
Pole dancing has got to be the most offensive past time I can think of. No matter how toned down people try to make it. Almost as offensive as watching those credit card settlement commercials. I couldn't believe that someone out there actually thought they could make pole dancing tasteful by making it out to be a workout tool. My goodness, I almost laughed myself off of the couch. Are you kidding me? I thought it was actually fake at first. Nope, it was very real, get this, they will even ship it to your house and apparently you just set it up somewhere in your home, living room etc and off you go. What is coming next?
Lunch Break
Why does there have to be so many wacky things out there? Wacky scholarships….wacky names…..wacky jobs ….wacky faces
…..wacky, wacky, wacky….. I don't understand it. I was just surfing the internet during a lunch break today, trying to kill time and I saw this wacky stuff. I think an hour lunch break is wayyyy too long, although, I've had 30 minute lunches which don't seem long enough. You hardly have time to eat anything, by the time you go get your food, it's time to go back. Yet, having an hour, you can't find the time to kill, you get bored. That's how I found myself just searching the internet, killing time. Maybe on my next lunch, I should just take a nap.
Try and try again…
There are signs it's time to move on from a relationship, whether you want or not. You might be one of those firm believers who want to try again, but sometimes it is not worth. There are some signs that show it is time for both of you to move on from the relationship.
One partner doesn't want it to work- you are not the only one in the relation. So, you cannot expect to put all the efforts. Both of you must put in efforts to keep it alive. But when one of the partners is not willing, there is a strong sign that it is time to move on. I think I should have gotten a clue when I met this person on a weird scholarships forum?
You find yourself looking for someone else- this doesn't mean that you are drooling over other girls or guys. It simply means that you love to imagine yourself with another person. This is not a good sign of a healthy relationship and you know you must move on.
You have lost all interest- you don't feel connected and don't have the spark in you. Try to find out if there is a way to rekindle the lost spark. If you don't find it, it is a strong sign that you must move on from the relationship.
I am so very excited I could scream! I am going on a dolphin trip! I have always seen dolphins in the ocean, or on t.v. but I've never been close enough to touch one, let alone swim with one. I am finally taking a vacation, well deserved after my tough year at school. I'm not ungrateful though, I was able to get a scholarship through a no essay scholarships site. That was a blessing on its own not having to write an essay just to get a scholarship. I am going on my trip tomorrow and I am so excited. My sister and I are going and we'll hopefully make this a yearly trip. This is definitely a new experience for me.
I am so very bored right now with my studying, ugghh. I am digging my nose into my anatomy and physiology study guide, trying to stay focused, lol. So, in the middle of my boredom, here's what I found in a magazine. I saw a picture of a monkey dressed up in clothing! Wow…I'm not sure what else to say about that. I wonder how long it took to dress him up, ha! Is he even comfortable in the overalls he's wearing? Would he rather not wear anything at all? I really need to get my studying over with and get to the beach!
Have you noticed that you get more "afraid" of things as you get older? It's crazy, but true for some reason. I remember when I was younger, I didn't have any fear at all, I could pick up lizards without squirming, bait a hook when we'd go fishing, and skate at speeds that seemed like about 100 miles per hour! Nowadays…I don't think so….why is that? Just a thought that went through my head today as I go over my life. Maybe this is one of the mysteries I can learn when i'm in school. Yes, at my age, i'm going back! Why not? I'm looking into some scholarships for women over 40. Yep, that's my age, and proud of it! I'm hoping to overcome some of my fears and get back to my fearless self when I was younger!
Yoga Right
Welcome to my yoga clothing closet. Some of these yoga outfits were purchased at local flea markets while others were passed down from my mother and aunt. I love the free flowing look of yoga clothing and when combined with 60s and 70s music, I have a great combination. Today I'm sorting through the clothes to determine what I'll wear today since I'm headed to an outdoor book fair at the park and it will be close to 96 degrees.
I'm thinking about wearing my favorite blue and white Yoga maxi skirt with a white camisole, blue hoop earrings and two white bangles for the wrist along with my wooden flip flops. This is something that happened before we were going to review http://noessayscholarships.org… but that is for another day.
I'm really stumped because I also like this hot pink maxi dress with brown stripes in it. This dress is made of cotton so I'll feel cool in it, and I have some wooden earrings that go well with it. Well, I think I'll wear the blue skirt and white camisole today.
What I find interesting
Do you ever find it interesting that we are 99% the same as chimpanzees? 99% of our DNA is exactly the same as theirs. And yet when we stand next to them, all we can see are differences. Between humans there is even less of a differece. We are approximately 99.9% similar in everything. But look at the range of diferences that we go through. If we were being classified the way that we classify animals, based on visible characteristics, we could never call a person from Malaysia part of the same species as someone from Spain, or South Africa. But we are. 0.01% is not enough difference to constitute a different species. So why do we insist on fighting amongst ourselves like we are? Just because a persons race, religion, or creed is different than ours, we feel the need to segregate? We are more similar than we are different, and we need to remember that. In fact, I hope to be able to get scholarships for women over 40 so I can finally major in art like I have wanted to for many years
My Turtle and I.
Did you know that there is a eucalypt species called eucalyptus deglupta which have a coloured trunk? Looks like someone painted it with water-colour! Unluckily it can only be grown in tropical climates.
I've been interested in carnivorous plants too, but it's really hard to grown one, but who wouldn't like a plant that eats spiders? If my home had a bigger backyard i would make a garden full of unusual species. Well, apart from the naturalist part, my day was pretty normal. I spent a lot of time with my family and i finished my work about symbolist poetry – i really like Rimbaud. I did spend some time with my cat Tom too.
Oh yes, i almost forgot, i broke another cup today, but this time it almost hit my turtle's head. Maybe she could shrink her head just in time anyway. But i really should be more careful with these things, i broke 3 cups just this week! Later, I am going to see if I can get consolidation loans for people with bad credit. I think my turtle has better credit me than me! LOL
I must go now, see you tomorrow.
Bored and Jobless(for now)
Some of the youtubes I have been watching lately too!
I have been looking for work. This is a frustrating experience because I have some technological problems with the various websites I apply on. Every time I seem to be on the verge of getting a job it seems to disintegrate before my very eyes. This makes me depressed. Looking for work is one of my least favorite things to do. I have not had a regular job for awhile either so this makes looking for work frustrating. Fortunately, I do have some income coming in so, it is not as terrible as it could be, but I really need so much more. It bothers me that at my age I should probably be at the pinnacle of my career, and instead I am really nowhere. I think I may look for an online support group for job seekers maybe that will help me not feel so alone with this. Journaling is helpful as well. So , I decided to browse youtube..lol
Too Funny!
This is gonna be cool.
This is OK.
Another Good Day
I am an extremely clumsy person. Not a week goes by where I don't have an accident! I remember one day after school when I was in my mid-teens. I was sat at the front of the bus with a friend, eating 'Freaky Fingers' (a very fun Halloween-themed take on Cadbury's chocolatey snack) when I saw a rather shy friend of mine sat further back, all alone. The bus was very busy, but I decided to get up and take a walk to see him. However, just as I stood, the bus swung around a corner! CRASH!

I fell down with a big bump and found myself rolling around in the isle, the Freaky fingers rolling alongside me. All of the passengers saw and exploded with laughter, and to make everything worse, just as I was scrabbling to get up, the bus pulled up at the next stop, and my crush saw me, too! Ouch! I've never been so embarrassed in my life!

Figuring Out What Went Wrong!
Here is a new video on what riders I think you should watch in the up and coming weeks.
There are quite a few talented people out in the ranks and I think that you should be able to find out which ones you like the best. Personally, my favorite rider is not here at this time. I am hoping that they will be available to ride in the near future.
Here are some of the latest releases on news this year too. We look at a few like this, but listed some of our favorites below.
New Online College Springing Up
Thought this would be a use article for those who are looking into online colleges. It is best to seek out those that are regionally accredited as opposed to those who are nationally accredited.
The Wall Street Journal also has a very interesting take on this too:
Life as we know it
Through my life we have had the chance to meet a lot of great people, when I was going to college. I found that most of the time, I liked to hang around what people may called, the odd balls, the ecentric, overly intelligent people and most of all theatre majors. I fell into all of these categories and as a matter of a fact, even tried to apply for some weird scholarships, LOL! I know, I know, don't laugh. The above is how I see things. I know that right now, although stereotypes do not bother me, they seem to bother many others. When I was in school, we had very little bullying, and also very little if any bullying take place. I know in schools, I have found this report, which makes me a little sad.
Oh, by the way, I actually found a site that may help those who are reading and are thinking about going to college.
(no title)
I also like different cartoons, this did not turn out as good as I thought it would be I do like it. You can find more like this at Wikipedia.org

Traveling easy, without any baggage
A new service targeting business travelers will do the packing and schlepping of baggage for you, Business 2.0 reports.
(Business 2.0 Magazine) -- In the time it takes you to read this sentence, a couple more air travelers will have had their suitcases lost or mishandled by airlines. The problem is only going to get worse if, as expected, the volume of passengers grows more than 50 percent by 2020.
Throw in longer waits at check-in and the baggage carousel, and it's a great time to sell road warriors on a premium luggage service that bypasses the airlines altogether.
That's the idea behind FlyLite, the brainchild of former investment adviser Steve Zilinek. Customers send FlyLite their business travel gear, which later meets up with them on the road.
But, unlike existing services, the company doesn't just overnight it to their hotel so it arrives before they do -- it also dry-cleans the clothes and stores everything in its warehouses between trips.
Users choose what goes on each journey via the iCloset, a remote wardrobe manager on the FlyLite website. Cost: $100 per trip. "Our clients have money," Zilinek says. "What they need is time."
FlyLite claims to save three hours per trip in packing, airport, and laundry time. For its average customer, who travels once a week, that frees up 150 hours per year.
"There's a lot of upside," says Joel Chusid, chairman of the Association of Travel Marketing Executives. "Down the line you may see more carriers charging for luggage and that will make this service even more attractive."
Currently FlyLite has closets in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington. With funding from angel investment group Tag, Zilinek aims to add closets in 12 more major cities by the end of the year.
FlyLite inked a deal in March with National Livery so users can add a limo to and from the airport by checking a box on the iCloset. Zilinek also is looking at deals that will let customers pay with frequent-flier miles.
The service isn't without its wrinkles -- FlyLite requires 12 hours' notice, so you'll have to pack your own bag for that last-minute red-eye. Still, the promise of suitcase-free air travel may be all that it needs to take off.

Despite opening the Southland Conference 0-2, the Lamar Cardinals look to get back on track when they host McMurry University for Homecoming on Saturday, Oct. 13, at 7 p.m. at Provost Umphrey Stadium in non-conference action.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Jonathan Wilson to Join Wanda Jackson on Leno Tonight
Jonathan Wilson will join country music legend Wanda Jackson for a special performance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno later this evening. Jackson released her 31st studio album Unfinished Business last month. This isn't the first time that Jackson has collaborated with a younger musician- her latest record was produced by Justin Townes Earle (read a review here) while her last proper studio effort, 2011's The Party Ain't Over, was helmed by Jack White. Meanwhile, Wilson has done just the opposite in producing a forthcoming Roy Harper record and recently appearing with Bob Weir at a benefit concert for wounded veterans at the Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, CA. The psych-folk rocker also recently played a free webcast at Weir's TRI Studios and sat in with Furthur at the Greek Theatre on October 5. The Tonight Show with Jay Leno is broadcast on NBC at 11:30PM week nights
